What are the contribution of Greek mythology?
Greek mythology explained everyday things (like the sun, the seasons, the stars) to the Greeks, and today they still have an influence. For example, some people say that the movie Finding Nemo is like an Odyssey of some sort. The words apollonian and dionysian came from Apollo and Dionysus. Odyssey came from Odysseus. Herculean came from Heracles (Hercules). Many of the Greek gods' Roman names became the names of the planets. The names Minerva and Diana are common girls' names. The word June, for the month of June, came from Juno. The word cereal came from Ceres. The word volcanoo came from Vulcan.
Why are the planets named after the roman gods?
That was the practice in Roman times, for the 5 planets visible to the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Later, European astronomers adopted these as a common reference. It also set a precedent for naming Uranus (for Greek god Ouranos), Neptune (Roman god of the sea), and Pluto (Roman god of the underworld) when these planets were discovered.
